After reading your posts since I last posted Clydey and having the nerve to say I was insulting you before you called me a tit, a fool and the rest is just bang out of order, especially when I explained a million times that it was never a personal slight. You clearly went off on one before I did. You really are a loose cannon when it comes to arguments.

It seems Neil felt cheated that I was "rewarding" Clydey when he hadn't done as much as he did when he got the status. In fact, I was rewarding MurraysWorld by giving him the status - that's one more person who might help out.

Clydey is a bit of a loose cannon in arguments but I think his passionate responses were justified as he certainly wasn't the person who made this personal. And that's an opinion from someone who often is infuriated by Clydey in pretty much every argument.

You should learn to make less assumptions. And it was him who made it personal.

If you can find me a quote from Clydey where you think this was first made personal and I can't find one before that of you making it personal then I will concede.

He said he was taking it personally from the start..... that's making it personal especially when I explain with appropriate smileys ( ) so as to avoid confusion and bad feeling that it wasn't. Somehow, I think that is making it personal.

You're so far out of line, Neil, it's not even funny. The fact that you don't like me has no bearing on whether I'm trustworthy.

To answer your point, I wasn't even aware you could contribute unless you had certain privileges. I'm happy to contribute to this site and I'm not about to bring the site to a grinding halt just because I can do a few news updates, am I? Your attitude stinks. Your personal opinion of me is no indication of how trustworthy I am, so get that in your head.

This makes it personal by accusing me of using personal feelings and saying I was out of line. That good enough?

Mark, me posting asking 'Why?' these members had been fast-tracked wasn't me fishing for a trusted status for myself. I would prefer you to have seen me as member suitable on your own accord. However, I'm not complaining and I'm gunna show you that it's a wise move.
